Drone Maker Airobotics has received a certificate of waiver from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that allows it to fly drones without requiring a visual line of sight by a human operator, the company announced Tuesday.

“In 2019 and beyond, AI will increasingly exist on the edge, as concerns around privacy, security and latency make edge-AI preferable over the traditional approach that relies on centralized AI systems.”

“AI will make a huge impact on cybersecurity by increasing exponentially the ability to detect rogue patterns and foul play, and in time will improve significantly on human ability to analyse data effectively, which will lead to even faster detection and response capabilities via machine learning.”
